Doepfer

Hi!

The great thing about the Doepfer vocoder is that the individual analysis bands 
are so easily accessible. So why not add some VCA's and LFO's and modulate some 
of the analysis bands? Or go wild, get 16 VCA's and LFO's and do it to them all!

Get a multiple and split one of the analysis bands into several synthesis 
inputs; conversely combine several bands into one with a mixer. Inverters are 
nice, so is a joystick to control some aspects.

Grab a ringmodulator or some wavefolder and do unspeakable things to one of the 
helpless analysis bands.

You said that you have no need for an oscillator but the voiced / unvoiced 
detector needs some noise inputs as well (can be external too, of course).

As for filters, a vocoder is basically a filterbank on steroids so I'm not sure 
how much mileage you'd get out of a dedicated unit. Otherwise, filters are 
great, can't have enough of them.

Have fun!

York

Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Modules for increasing VOCODER functions

  
Hello
I need your help for increasing in interesting ways the functionality and 
possibilities of my doepfer vocoder.
I'm not very deep in knowledge of doepfer modules because my interest is 
focalized in to the analog vocoders.
In my Eurorack I just have:
A-129\1
A-129\2
A-129\3
A-129\3
A-129\3
A-129\4
A-129\5
A-119
Some holes are in the rack and them want to be filled!
The carrier signals will came ever from external sources, so I'm not interested 
in VCO modules and complementar.
Can you help me to find interesting combinations for increasing the vocoder 
function?
For example:
other two A-129\4 could be required for completing the slew limiter controlling, 
but it seems to me not a big upgrade, another A-119 sometimes had to be usefull 
for having one for carrier and one for formant, but I usually use an external 
mic amp....
Also the matrix module (3 of them will be required! if I'm not wrong) was a 
possibility for an easier controll of the band filters but it will not gain or 
ampliate the "sounds" possibilities of the vocoder.
What's about a divider? Will be it usefull in the vocoder?
Or what's about the A-128 filterbank? Or a filter?
Please give me your suggestion, for gain the flexibility of the vocoder and 
implement its functions, also in experimental and original way.
What do you suggest? 
Many thanks to all in advance for your reply!
Best regards.
